Just recently had my first appointment at the new Babe Cave location. I have to say the place is fantastic. You walk up the steps to the entrance and you just know that once you enter those doors it's pampering time. I had a massage appointment with Becky that was amazing. I showed up with so much tension and general discomfort and left feeling like a new refreshed person. 10/10. Becky is so welcoming and professional but makes you feel like a friend. Highly recommend.

I had my second facial with Alexis. It was amazing. My fine lines on my 58 year old face are less noticeable. Best massage was an added bonus.
